Fix for the module/plugin template unintentionally unindented inside of

* Make wording for Solaris troubleshooting better.

The example regarding `include_*` is a bit unclear. First it seems like the v2.4 and v2.5 examples are the same. So I attempted to make the relevant change in the examples more obvious.

The big one is that we needed to set plugin_type when we processed the by_support template.
Also added to list_of_CATEGORY_plugins page (which might not be used)
and corrected a place where I did module_name instead of name_module

* docs: Document disabling diff on task level
Tasks that deal with secrets may leak sensitive information when
running in Check Mode. This change updates the documentation explaining
that the diff can be deactivated on task level.
The feature was requested in #14860 and got introduced in Ansible 2.4
with #28581.
* Updated for clarity
(cherry picked from commit 9cca9a9c10)
The :ref: syntax is for linking to targets which are defined for the
whole document tree. `link`_ is for linking to targets which are inside
of the document. We want the latter for deprecated sections because
otherwise we'd have to create namespaced link targets for them.
Also fix expansion of version a deprecated module will be removed in

file implementing it is gone so we need to stop referencing it.

Rewrote what video does. The video is really not teaching you how to do the work. It explains why you'd want to use Ansible and shows you what it takes (some sample code) . Video also introduces you to other products in the Ansible ecosystem.

* Change wording of Going Further section
The original wording was confusing with its non-devel branch part.
Made it much clearer for people to understand what to do.
Also removed the git command for creating branches, I believe a
develop should be aware of how basic git commands work.
(cherry picked from commit d5ae63c0ea)
* Add examples to YAMLSyntax; fix minor issues and improve wording
I added proper titles to "Flow Collections" and "Block Scalars", because these
are official YAML Terms, so people can find better help when having issues.
I changed the "ignored newlines" to "folded newlines" because I think ignoring
gives a wrong impression, especially since empty lines (more than one newline)
are not ignored and have a special meaning.
I added an example how to enforce a newline in a folded block scalar.
I fixed the list of characters that are allowed/not allowed in plain and
double quoted scalars.
I added the #yaml channel to the IRC link.
I added links to the YAML Specs. For completeness, I also included YAML 1.2,
although PyYAML and libyaml currently implement 1.1.
* Improve wording
* Add three more characters to forbidden first characters
* Update some examples to use proper YAML syntax.
* Make the requested changes so this builds properly.
Also fix emphasis line numbers to match what was being emphasized before
the change.
